Tragedy: Nigeria Customs Officer Dies In Hotel Room In Kano
LAGOS JANUARY 30TH (NEWSRANGERS)-A Customs officer on Thursday was found dead in a hotel room located on Oyo Road, Nomansland, Kano.

The source hinted that as soon as he took delivery of the tin of milk, his condition deteriorated, a situation that prevented him from taking the drugs before he went to bed on the said night.
